This version of the LIVE plugin supports older VDR
versions. It still uses the old Makefile format and thus
can be used together with VDR versions older than
1.7.36. This will be the last stable version of LIVE
offering this kind of support. Future versions of LIVE
will work only with VDR version 2.0 and above.

The following overview lists the most important user
visible changes on LIVE since the last stable version.

The major new features have been contributed by LIVE
users. We are are very happy to embrace the contributions
and thank everybody who helped in
improving LIVE.

The names of the developers are listed in the version
history, which can be found in the LIVE-Git tree.

A new simultaneous multiple channel
schedule has been added. The channels can be
grouped according to own preferences. The schedule for a
channel group can be displayed on configurable time
i.E. prime time.

The recordings page has been lifted and
got some new features:

HTTP streaming of recordings if a
version of tntnet > 1.7.0 is available. You browser
still requires the mozilla-vlc plugin.

More than one recording can be deleted at
once.

More than one recording can be moved or
copied to a new location at
once.

The list of recordings can
be filtered either for names or
with regual expressions.

All recordings folders can
be expanded or collapsed at
once. The main benefit of this feature
unfolds in combination with the filtering feature.

Works with the VDR developer versions (1.7.x) and is
prepared for the upcoming VDR 2.0 release.

Supports the new TS recording format.

The channels got numbers.

Added support for IPv6.

You can connect to LIVE via SSL.

Enhanced support for EPG images which
are supplied by external tools (e.g. tvm2vdr.pl).

Translations for Italian, Finnish, Polish,
Spanish and Slovakia

Lots of little bug fixes (and perhabs new bugs).

Features of LIVE 0.2.0

The following list contains the most important user
visible changes in LIVE since the release of the last
stable version. Underneath the visible parts changes took
place too: e.g. the used Javascript is now based in large
parts on
the Mootools
framework.

The InfoBox has
become “more intelligent”,
e.g. a recording can be fast-forwarded, while playing it
over VDR TV out. And channels of the primary output
device can be switched with the controls in the InfoBox.

A favorite list found place under
“whats on?”. It is populated by
“search timers” with set option “use
in favorite menu” while creating the timer. Also
new is an option to display the “whats on?”
entries in a list.

Each schedules entry (only those with EPG data) owns a
button
“show in browser”: This
button calls the VLC plugin and shows a liveTV
stream. This does not work for recordings.

On “schedule” page, there is a
button “show in browser”.
All channels can be selected here, also those without
EPG data but which are present in the
channels.conf. Smaller TV providers or radio stations
are affected by this from time to time.

With newer versions of the Epgsearch plugin (starting from
epgsearch-0.9.24) there is a menu option for timers:
“timer conflicts”. This
option evaluates, which programmed timers could not be
recorded, because there are no more free DVB devices
available, or similar reasons. When the InfoBox is
switched active, a message is displayed on the current
page if Epgsearch detected a change of the timer
conflicts.

On the “search timers” page it is now
possible to start direct manual search timer
updates. Use it and Epgsearch plugin will
immediately update all search timers.

Within the “edit search timers” page the new
option “use as search timer” provides a
user-defined search. Here the user
determines start and stop date for Epgsearch in the
background. So you are able to build search timers,
which scan for example only during the period of the
autumn all transmissions of a series.

In “recordings” now you
will find a
button “delete”. The
recording will be marked with VDRs methods as
deleted. That means the recording will be renamed with
the suffix “.del” and removed at the next
time when VDR cleans up deleted recordings.

You should visit “setup” directly after
updating live 0.1.0 to 0.2.0. There might
be settings for the new functions,
which you would like to examine.

Revised is the possibility to selected a suitable
“theme”, a small set of
different colored designs to select.

Support for https data transfer between LIVE and the
browser due to SSL support in Tntnet.

Further there are many small
innovations like the length of recordings in
minutes ', but we are sure you will discover them by
yourself.
